| New Card Set for Legends of Norrath Is in Development Sony Online Entertainment announces that a new card set for the online strategy game Legends of Norrath (LoN) is in development at SOE's Denver studio and heading for release next month. Dubbed Ethernauts, this set adds 280 new cards, including new light and shadow cards that add powerful deck customization, 20+ new loot cards for EverQuest and EverQuest II, and a new Starter Pack option that provides gamers with enough cards to build four starter decks for one low price. This set kicks off the newest Legends of Norrath story arc, starting 4,000 years ago when void storms and terrible creatures threatened the very existence of Norrath. Only a handful of brave heroes, the Ethernauts, kept the world from extinction. Players will experience this epic story through Legends of Norrath, taking this knowledge into the present EverQuest II timeline, where strange void storms trouble Norrath once again. Ethernauts features include: - New Cards: More than 280 beautiful new cards, including 210 base set cards, 16 new quest cards and more than 30 promotional cards. Ethernauts also adds new unit races, including the Half-elves, the Centaurs and the Treants, as well as 4 new avatar cards. - New Loot: Ethernauts adds 20+ new loot cards for EverQuest and EverQuest II, including rare and exotic items from the Void, as well as new mounts, cloaks, consumables and baubles. - New Starter Options: Ethernauts marks the debut of a new Starter Pack, a single, larger pack of cards, capable of making four starter decks. This Starter Pack will replace the individual starter decks for each set of this block, providing all the cards in a single, player-friendly package. - New Gameplay: Theme your deck with new light/shadow cards that have powerful benefits and consequences. Ethernauts also introduces two new keywords, Fabled and Lookout, which offer new strategies and approaches for raids and one-on-one gameplay. - New Scenarios: 10 new scenarios let the story of the Ethernauts unfold and allow players to fight against trolls, ogres and void beasts, culminating in an epic battle with Baron and Baroness V'Nol! Developed at SOE's Denver studio, Legends of Norrath is the only online trading card game based on and playable from within SOE's EverQuest and EverQuest II MMOs, as well as from a free stand-alone client using a free SOE Station Account ID. Players can challenge opponents on their game server and across other EverQuest and EverQuest II servers. To get started, players can download the client for free, test their skills 24 hours a day against AI and real opponents, and then head over to the tournament lobby to compete. Tournament eligibility is limited and subject to Official Rules. Residents of certain territories are ineligible to participate in LoN tournament play. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Game News :: home page |
